Packers-Vikings press box notes

The Packers (7-4) return home for the first time in nearly a month when they welcome the division-rival Minnesota Vikings (6-5) to Lambeau Field today.

It kicks off a stretch of three straight NFC North games for Green Bay, the first time the Packers have had three consecutive divisional contests on the schedule since 2006 (Weeks 15-17). Four of Green Bay’s final five games are against divisional foes.

The Packers have won a franchise-record nine consecutive games against NFC North opponents. It is the second-longest current divisional winning streak in the NFL behind only Baltimore’s 12-game winning streak against AFC North teams.

This is Green Bay’s first meeting with Minnesota this season, the latest that the first game has come in the history of the series (since 1961).

The teams will also face off in Minnesota in the season finale. It marks the first time in the series that both season meetings will come in December.

Today will mark the first time the teams have squared off in a noon kickoff at Lambeau Field since 2007. Three of the last four meetings in Green Bay (2008, 2010-11) have been prime-time matchups.

The Packers have won 17 of their last 18 regular-season games (.944) at Lambeau Field and 23 of their last 25 (.920) at home.

Green Bay has won 24 of its last 29 regular-season games overall (.828), the best record in the league over that span.

The Packers’ are coming off a 38-10 loss to the N.Y. Giants last Sunday night, one that ended Green Bay’s five-game winning streak.

Green Bay currently sits at No. 2 in the NFC North with its 7-4 mark, one game behind Chicago (8-3) and one game ahead of Minnesota (6-5).

AN EVENLY MATCHED SERIES

Through 102 meetings, which includes one postseason game, the Packers hold a 53-48-1 advantage over the Vikings in the all-time series.

Fans can bet on a back-and-forth contest when the teams meet. In fact, 15 of the last 19 regular-season meetings have been decided by seven points or less, the lone exceptions being the Packers’ 34-0 win at Lambeau Field in 2007, Minnesota’s 38-26 win at Green Bay in 2009, Green Bay’s 31-3 win at Minnesota in 2010 and the Packers’ 45-7 victory at Lambeau last season.

The Packers have swept the season series in four of six seasons under Head Coach Mike McCarthy (2006-07, 2010-11).

Green Bay has won four straight against the Vikings, its longest streak since a five-game winning streak vs. Minnesota from 2006-08.

Green Bay’s 38-point win (45-7) over Minnesota last season in Week 10 was the largest margin of victory by either team in the history of the series.

GETTING IT DONE IN THE DIVISION
